Man charged with child endangerment and domestic assault

An Iowa City man has been charged with putting a minor child in danger and committing domestic abuse.

Dexter Curry, 22, 259 Willowwind Place, was charged June 15 with child endangerment with no injury.

According to an Iowa City police complaint, officials were called to the residence of Curry’s child’s mother after a verbal altercation broke out in front of his 6-year old child. The altercation allegedly became physical when Curry slapped the woman on the left side of her face.

As the woman fled the area with the child, Curry reportedly threw a bedroom TV to the ground, breaking it.

Child endangerment is an aggravated misdemeanor, and domestic-abuse assault is a serious misdemeanor.
